A novel approach to enhancing the thermal conductivity of nanofluids for energy-based applications is discussed in a new paper.
Researchers prepared carbon-based nanofluids (CbNFs) by using a two-step method and determined their thermal conductivity (?) and diffusivity (a). These CbNFs were said to significantly enhance the characteristics of the base working fluids.
New research focuses on creating sustainable superhydrophobic coating materials using nanofluids based on easily accessible materials like silica (SiO2) nanoparticles.
A new study demonstrates the feasibility of using a covalent organic framework (COF)-based nanofluidic hybrid membranes (NHMs) to attain enhanced interfacial ion transport for the generation of osmotic energy.
Researchers review different nanotechnology-assisted microfluidic systems, specifically nanoparticles (NPs)-integrated microfluidic biosensors, for chemical and bioanalysis.
